    Are we sure it won't be on ESPN also?

    TUF 9 was on Virgin AND Setanta Ireland.

    five USA is encrypted. It is completely seperate to five which is available through Other Channels.

    I will download TUF if I cannot see it on television but I am almost sure that I have seen it mentioned somewhere that ESPN will be showing it also.

    five USA is a UK only channel. You are in the UK so you receive it.

    It's very frustrating. I'll have to find other ways to watch it online. I've watched most series of it from the start, and loved being able to sky plus it recently and keep upto date. I was sure ESPN or Bravo or Virgin would pick it up.

    Dana, around the time of the Setanta collapse, seemed to be aware of the Irish fans not being in the UK, updating his twitter to reflect PPV broadcasts in the UK and Ireland seperately, so hopefully the UFC are working away to sort something out, but it would probably be on Setanta Ireland if they did find some sort of deal and I ain't paying €16 a month for that.

    Damn.

    I never really watched it on TV anyway.
    Right back from the original TUF, I'm used to downloading it.
    Even during the Setanta days, I'd find it hard to wait the day later that they would show it, and just download it in HD and stream it to my tv.

    Same as I used to with the events.

    "Watch live and exclusive UFC action from around the World featuring the most anticipated dates in any fight fans' diary – the UFC Events. Plus watch a whole host of programming including UFC Countdown, UFC Fight Nights, The Ultimate Fighter Series, UFC All Access and UFC Unleashed."

    Aren't they currently showing the last series?

    Not to worry. ESPN announced when they signed the contract to show UFC programming that TUF will be shown also.

    Thank fook!!

    Damn you Rovert!!:pac:

    Edit; Hmm looking at that link again..It's not series-specific and ESPN have been showing LOTS of TUF repeats since they got the UFC. The fact that this is on a Friday night from 10-11pm? I know Virgin had it on a weeknight last year...
    Somewhat confused still...

    Those are pretty generic listings, unless my eyesight fails me they're simply labelled as "The Ultimate Fighter". Could just be the above-mentioned series.
    I think until we see TUF 10 listed specifically it'll still be in doubt.

    I think its on in the states directly after the ultimate fight night(which is next Wednesday night?), I think UK starts the following night.

    Yeah, its previous series.

    Why would there be an announcement that FIVE had gotten TV rights if ESPN already had the contract.

    Ill be seriously pi**ed off if this isnt on ESPN. I was sure when they announced that UFC was going to be on ESPN that they said TUF would be there too. Its a bit of a joke if it isnt aired over here.

    I get the feeling that ESPN don't have the rights. As said by previous posters, they've been showing earlier seasons and that tv listing is very generic, you'd think that if they were premiering a new series, they'd promote it. There's no mention of it on the UFC website or ESPNs sky portal.

    Think they will be showing TUF on ESPN. I seriously doubt they would buy the UFC rights and exclude TUF. Its probably a joint thing where FIVE will show it as well but maybe after its been aired on EPSN or vice versa
